Do you know that for sure? You said earlier that you come from a great family. Perhaps we have different definitions of "great"....... To me, a great family lets us make our own decisions, helps out when asked and loves us unconditionally. I know how scary it is though, Laura - it took me months to open up to my family and I know they are all the things I describe. I think I was afraid that admitting the problems to them meant admitting them fully to myself. My family were nothing short of wonderful, btw.
